Olive groves, hamlets and a little paradise
A feature of Umbria - the "green hearth" of Italy - is that you can walk on the border between nature and history without jumps. They link arms each other.
You can feel this experience starting from Trevi, a beautiful medieval village over Umbra Valley, one of "Borghi più Belli d'Italia" (Most beautiful hamlets of Italy)...
...A pleasant track among olive threes leads you, suddenly, to see the polygonal tower of another well restored fortifieded hamlet: Pissignano. Enter in it means enter by a time-gate in the XII century.
But Pissignano, in Umbria, isn't alone... Going beyond a dale and a ridge, and here is Campello Castle: a typical hill-castle (while Pissignano is a slope-castle).
Do you think are you getting tired? Don't worry! Few minutes downhill and...
We are at Clitunno Sources, a little paradise of peace and serenity.
Virgilio, Plinio the Young, Svetonio, Properzio - about the Roman age - and Lord Byron, Giosuè Carducci and many painters in the last centuries sang the beauty of this place with words and drawings.
A last testimony of nature and history wait us going back to Trevi. Here you can see the Saint Emiliano's Olive Three, where the patron of Trevi was martirized. It's... 1700 years old!!!
Did you have a nice walk? Yes, I know... This is Umbria!
